Purpose:
The purpose of this exercise will be to i) Identify the macromolecules present in known food samples. ii) Identify the macromolecules present in an unknown food sample and then attempt to identify the origin of that sample. Introduction:

Biochemists have developed standard procedures to determine the presence of the most abundant macromolecules made by cells: carbohydrates (sugars and starches), lipids (fats), and proteins. In this investigation you will conduct some of these standard tests to identify the presence or absence of sugars, starch, lipids and proteins in known samples, in some food samples and then in a food sample of unknown identity.

Question:
What biochemical macromolecules are present in different food samples? Can identification of the macromolecules present in a food sample help to identify that sample?

... Human Demography:
The study of age-structured populations
Lab Preparation: Read the lab and be on time. There will be a quiz. Also, we’ll be riding a bus to the
field location. If you want to join us for lab, don’t miss the bus! Bring your lab manual, a hard notebook
or clipboard, paper and charcoal (for rubbings) and wear warm, possibly waterproof clothes. We’ll be
outside for a good portion of the lab regardless of the weather.
Background:
Demography
Demography is the descriptive study of biological populations, including human populations.
Demography includes the study of birth rates, death rates, immigration, and emigration patterns
(sometimes referred to as vital statistics). Ecologists have perfected the analysis of demography because
the vital statistics of a population tell us if the population is growing or declining, what will be the stable
age distribution of the population, and how selection might work on individuals of each age class.
Today we will be looking at human demography. Human’s experience age-structured population
growth, meaning birth rates and death rates depend on the age of the individual. In previous models we
assumed that birth rates and death rates are constant, now we will incorporate age-structure to estimate
generation time (G), intrinsic rate of increase (r), and net reproductive rate (R0).
Human population dynamics can be particularly interesting because of how events or trends in human
history affect them....

...OUTLINE
1. Intro- Chemical and biological weapons first appeared in a large quantity in the First World War. Chemical weapons, such as sarin, nerve gas, and mustard gas, have to be made in a laboratory. Biological weapons, such as Typhus, Q fever, and Anthrax, can be viruses or bacteria. Chemical and Biological weapons have few advantages and so many disadvantages that the advantages aren’t worth the possible effects.
2. Paragraph 1-advantages that can be turned into disadvantages
a. Point 1-killing thousands of enemies
b. Point 2-not necessary, there are viable, safer alternatives
c. Point 3-spread like fire
d. Point 4-Kill many, unable to focus on specific targets easily
3. Paragraph 2-Disadvantages that can’t be turned into good things
a. Point 1-have lasting effects
b. Point 2-Biological weapons micro-organisms
c. Point 3-cult attack, terrorism
4. Paragraph 3-Disadvantages-storage and dumping the waste
a. Point 1-getting rid of them is a long, costly, dangerous process
b. Point 2-two new storage facilities
c. Point 3-Chernobyl
5. Conclusion-chemical and biological weapons are extremely dangerous and harmful. Chemical and biological weapons do get the job done. However, they cause unnecessary deaths in some of the most horrific ways and are difficult to dispose of. This is why they should be banned for safety reasons.

Abstract
Many diseases and disorders are caused by defects in the molecular level of cells and not just having to do with nutrition or other extrinsic factors ,in this report ,we will specifically look at enzymes and their key role in energy production and the cycles and series of activities that make it possible for the human to function properly .
Enzymes have four basic characteristics .They do not make a reaction occur that would not occur on its own, they just enhance and make it happen quicker. The enzyme will not be changed by the reaction, it may be changed during the process, but the end product will leave the enzyme as it was when it started. Enyzmes can be used repeatedly. Enyzmes have specific substances in our bodies, so if enzymes don’t work properly, metabolism will not work properly.
Enzymes do their work as catalyst by speeding up the process to improve performance. They lessen the activation energy making producing products easier .Enzymes act on specific substances in our bodies. The enzymes will fit into the substance or substrate like a lock and key .Once it is with its certain substrate, it acts like a key and it unlocks the substrate and the substrate can do what it needs to do and then the enzyme will releases from it and is not changed ,then it moves on to another substance.

...﻿The sugarcane undergoing fermentation produced a volume of carbon dioxide that was nearly nine times more than the corn, wheat grain and wheat stalk. Wheat grain and corn was nearly doubled that of the wheat stalk and the control (Figure 1). Sugarcane was the leading plant material producing the highest volume of carbon dioxide (mean= 19.9 ± 0.996 mL) while other than the control; the wheat stalk produced the lowest volume of carbon dioxide (mean= 1.33 ± 0.036 mL). As time elapsed, the sugarcane had the highest reaction rate, nearly nine times more than all the other plant materials (Figure 2). Sugarcane ended with the highest reaction rate (mean= 0.99 ± 0.070 mL/min) while wheat stalk had the lowest reaction rate (mean= 0.067 ± 0.0095 mL/min).
Data Analysis
1. The null hypothesis for this experiment was that for all plant materials, the volume of carbon dioxide produced and the rate of carbon dioxide produced would remain constant and unchanged as the time elapsed. The Alternate hypothesis for this experiment was that sugarcane would be the leading producer
2. came from the fact of sugarcane properties which is composed of simple sugars, therefore the yeast being used for fermentation in this experiment would have a faster rate of producing carbon dioxide rather than spending time breaking down complex sugars into simpler sugars. Our prediction was that sugarcane would be the fastest at producing carbon dioxide due to its composure of...

...﻿Assessing Sulphur Dioxide in Wine by Titration
Procedure
1. Transfer 20.0 mL of wine using a pipette to each of three 250 mL conical flasks.
2. To each flask add about 12 mL of 1 M sodium hydroxide solution and allow the flasks to stand for 15 minutes. This releases the SO2 bound in complex compounds in the wine.
3. Fill a burette with standard iodine solution. Record the initial burette reading and the concentration of the solution.
4. To one flask, add about 10 mL of 2 M sulfuric acid and 1–2 mL of starch indicator solution. Immediately titrate the mixture with iodine solution. Record the burette reading the moment the mixture turns permanently blue (end point).
5. Repeat the above steps with each of the other two flasks.
pH Level
Procedure
1. Fill up the beakers with 20mL of wine sample.
2. Wash the pH tube with distilled water so that no particles left behind and give wrong results.
3. After washing the pH tube, put the pH tube in the wine sample beaker and wait till the pH machine comes up with the accurate answer.
4. Repeat step 1-3 for the other 2 samples.
Tithable Acidity
Procedure:
Using phenolphthalein indicator
1 Fill the burette with 0.1 M NaOH.
2 Add approximately 100 mL of distilled water to a 250 mL conical fl ask.
3 Add 3 or 4 drops of phenolphthalein indicator to the fl ask and mix well.
4 Add 0.1 M NaOH from the burette to the fl ask until the solution turns a pale pink colour
that persists for at least 30...

...Unit 2 PPA 1
Complexometric Determination of Nickel using EDTA
Introduction:
The Aim of the experiment is to determine the percentage of nickel salt using a complexometric technique.
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a hexadentate ligand which forms stable complexes with most metal ions, thus is widely used to determine metals in complexometric titrations. EDTA can be represented as H4Y and in alkaline conditions, it exists as Y+ ions:
The Y4- ions form 1:1 complexes with metal ions. For example, Ni2+ ions bind with them to form a stable octahedral complex NiY2-.
An ordinary indicator cannot be used since the reaction does not involve a simple acid – alkali neutralisation so the end point of an EDTA complexometric titration can be detected by means of a metal ion indicator (an organic dye which changes colour when it binds with metal ions.) For it to be suitable in an EDTA titration, the indicator must bind less strongly with the metal ions than does EDTA.
Procedure:
Firstly, the theoretical percentage by mass of nickel in NiSO46H20 was calculated. Approximately 2.6g of hydrated nickel(II) sulphate was transferred to a weighing bottle and both the contents and bottle were weighed. About 25cm3 of deionised water was added to a 100cm3 beaker and the bulk of the nickel salt was transferred to the water. The weighing bottle was then reweighed with the remaining salt. The solution in the bottle was stirred until the solid dissolved and the solution was then...
